First I want to thank everyone for the kindness and support during last week's Twitter drama where some people falsely accused me of using AI to paint A Thousand Skies, despite me showing the process videos as proof. I'm so touched by the outpouring of warmth from long time Patrons and new Patrons as well. To be honest, I actually started crying reading some of the nice comments you all have left. I'm infinitely grateful to you all <3
I started painted version 1 of Dandelion Hair in early 2021, but I was never happy with the result. I'm not even sure if I'm happy with version 2, but with each iteration I aim to improve until I am happy with it. Maybe in another year or two I'll tackle version 3.
Here's version 1, quite a different style

sketch of version 2 made in Procreate, I started this before the Twitter drama, which really disrupted the workflow of this painting since I couldn't get back to it until over a week later.
The 30 second time-lapse is in the attachment. full time-lapse will be DMed on August 5th, along with the HD images and PSD files.
